• DVD/CD rom drive

  I recently took my computer in to get fixed because it crashed.  When I came back, I found out later when I tried to use my DVD/CD rom drive that he had disappeared.  I have done research on the internet about it and found a lot of sites that talk about drivers update and deleting files in the registry to get back, but my problem is it disappeared completely.  Also, I got F, J, & K drives and they are gone also.  I mean gone... no linked files or anything like that.  So this made my DVD/CD rom useless player.  I call the guy who worked on my computer, but it is difficult to get your hands on.  My computer is a Dell 2009 Windows Vista desktop computer.  I can't even try to reinstall Vista as the hard drive does not work.  Can someone give me any ideas as what to do?  Is there anywhere I can download files to make it work again?  Any info would be greatly appreciated.

• Satellite 1110-Z12: CD-Rom drive will not play copy controlled CD

  Hello

  The CD-Rom drive in my Toshiba Satellite 1110-Z12 (bought 01/2003 in Holland) becomes completely unreadable when I insert a CD protected by "Controlled copy" (IFPI). And I mean, berserk, he upped power at an incredible speed of spinning - very strong - and afraid he will break down.

  These are mainly EMI productions such as:
  -Norah Jones: Feels Like Home
  -Joss Stone: The soul Sessions.

  I know that these copy protection systems can never break or damage the use on CD players (standalone or computer).

  How can this be repaired? I never found the firmware update for the CD player on the Toshiba site.

  As much as I m did know, is it possible that the General of music that are "Controlled copy" by IFPI do not work in the drive of your laptop.

• Slim SelectBay DVD - ROM drive

  I recently bought a second hand Satellite Pro, but it seems to be without a DVD player and has only a weight saving plastic 'trick' in the Slim Selectbay.
  I know that my laptop is now discontinued, but it is anyway to acquire a Slim SelectBay DVD - ROM drive, because they are not for sale in the "Accessories" section.

  Hi Mikey

  In my opinion, you should contact partner in your country. They can order each hardware component or any part of the accessories for each model of laptop computer independent of how old the model has.

• Satellite P20 DVD ROM drive may not be recognized

  Hello

  I just replaced my DVD ROM drive, but I had a problem.
  It is a new DVD rom drive I ordered at TOSHIBA also.
  It could not be detected by Windows:
  -Tried to check on Device Manager, not detected
  -Tried to reload the driver, the same problem
  Note:
  Whenever I tried to re - insert the disc, the blue light in the control panel of my P20 beds (I understand, which means that the P20 detects the drive) but I don't understand, is that why Windows XP does not detect it or it does not alarm or error messages.

• Question about Tecra 510CDT computer laptop CD Rom drive

  Hello

  A friend just bought this laptop second hand. Everything seems very well despite the age. The only problem is when I swap the floppy for the cd rom drive drive. The screen is blank, the cursor hangs and then the laptop crashes completely.

  When I originally put the CD-ROM on the laptop, it seems to be taking place, in that the drivers recognition process where apparently being installed (we have no disk windows 98), so I assumed it was launching this process that everything was fine. But when I put a cd in the drive, the message: there is no cd rom on that computer drive came! I tried several times, and the same problem occurred. I checked the Device Manager and there is no cd drive. I tried to go into the multimedia program, but there is nothing on the cd rom. But there is a cd rom drive help and how to use it. So I'm pretty confused as to what could be the problem. Do I need to get a cd rom drive new/second hand? I thought about the drivers and download them but as we drive to the web I don't have access to the internet. Help with this would be so much appreciated.

  I'm no afficiando on computers, so any information base or advice to help me get started would be great.

  Thank you
  K

  Hello

  I have no adequate response, because this device is not known to me (almost 10 years). The fact is that if you look at the Toshiba download page you will find drivers for Windows 95 and not for 98.

  He has also voted player of CD-ROM. try to install it. Either way, I found information that the CD-ROM drive on this unit is not bootable.

• Qosmio G30 - DVD-ROM drive has stopped working

  I have a Qosmio G30 age of 3 years and the DVD - ROM drive has stopped working.

  He still pulls in, but it will not read or burn discs.

  I received a quote of £360 Toshiba to adapt to a new one that seems generous.

  Anyone know where I could get it fixed cheaper than you?
  Or better yet... anyone know where I can I get it fixed?

  David Hutchinson

  Hello
  This is not an answer to your question but can solve the problem if it is the same that I had.
  In my case, the drive tries to spin but it slips. Only the motor shaft rotates and the drive remains at low revolutions that were not even stationary.
  The problem was caused by the fact that the plastic part (black color) of the mechanism which engages the disc (CD or DVD) slips on the
  motor drive, axle and th couldn't do a full rotation or runs at the specified speed.
  The solution is to delete the article in plastic and put a small amount of super glue on the axle and then put it back.

  Where there is a similar issue, I hope that solve you it like I did.
